Progress Grant Distribution: A Photo Story from Galas

Posted on 11.05.15 by India Bulkeley

Over the past two weeks, BOMA Field Staff have been busy distributing grants and giving trainings in 15 of our locations. 215 BOMA Business Groups received additional grants for their businesses. During the trainings, Business Groups also formed larger Savings Groups, which are important for shock-preparedness in case of drought or other emergencies. Check out some pictures from the grant distribution and training in Galas: 

In Galas, participants arrived early on Thursday morning to attend the Progress Grant training session and disbursement.
